I remember that poster. Wonder what happened to him? Those 3000 pound bags were pushed out of the way like they were feathers. Funny really, people complain that people didn't evacuate or get out of the city and they complain that people didn't stay and sandbag the levees. Can't win for losing.
He probably got burnt out with all of the bashing. I don't understand it either, I mean, people stay and people whine, people evacuate and more people whine. The fact is that the majority of people did do what they were supposed to do before, during and after these storms.
I am the first to admit there needs to be a major change in how things are done here but I also deal with the facts. There's been so much misinformation told about things that it will take two lifetimes to sort out the truth from lies.
People conveniently forget that the state also got hit very hard by Rita and that the funds dispersed were for the immediate clean up for both storms. SWLA is coming along pretty well but Cameron Parish still has a lot of work to get done. Three entire parishes were destroyed, 99.99%. How many more were severely damaged between the two storms? It's much larger than a small midwestern town. From Texas to Florida is massive obliteration.
